G. Wells' fantastic sensation. Yet fall the time the man is in that

rocking chair, but cannot be seen.

Claude Rains, London and New (York stage star, makes his debut in the film with William Harrigan, [Gloria Stuart, Dudley Digges, Una O'Connor, Henry Travers and Forrester Harvey in the support- ling cast, 'under the direction of James Whale, who made the sea- sational "Frankenstein."
